The form figures tell a pretty grim tale: 5, 7, 8, 14, 17 — read in order from the beginning, that is a horse that started modestly and then got worse before nudging back up slightly. Finishing fifth sounds respectable until you realise the places on either side of it are a seventh and a fourteenth. There is no consistent improvement here, no sign of a horse finding its feet and climbing the ladder.
At seven years old, Clash Gold is no youngster still learning the ropes. Most horses at this age have a clear identity — a trip they like, a type of ground that suits them, a track where things click. So far, Clash Gold has not found that niche. With five races and nothing to show for them, the yard will be hoping something changes soon, because time is not exactly on their side.
